Our first potluck will take place at 6:00 p.m. on October 19 at the Activity Center at HOA 1. Room set-up is at 5:00 p.m. for those who volunteered. Please contact Sherry Kaplan at [email protected] to sign up for a dish or to help. Potlucks are a great way to taste everyone else’s favorite dish and have a lovely dinner with friends, yet not have to do any dishes. We look forward to seeing you all there.
On November 12 at 6:00 p.m. we will get together for dinner in the Vermilion Room at HOA 1; menu and cost to be detailed in emails, but save the date.
On December 6 the Jewish Friendship Group is partnering with SaddleBrooke Outreach in displaying traditional items of Christmas and Chanukah. We need volunteers to supply applesauce and sour cream, make latkes and loan us menorahs for display. Please contact either:

The first gathering of the Co-Ed Book Group took place at the home of Sandy Epstein and discussed The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure. It was lovely for the group to meet once again and talk about a most interesting book.

Seth and Sandy Basker once again opened up their Sukkah to visitors to have some wine, challah and shake the Lulav and Etrog. There was a lovely turnout to share this tradition. Our thanks to Seth and Sandy for hosting.
